Friendships - old, new, intimate or platonic - come in a variety of forms. The friendships you form can have a huge impact on your life choices, both positively and negatively.

Consider the friendships you have. What kind of impact have they had on you? Do they push you forward to your goals? Do they come at the cost of your happiness?

Depending on how you answer these questions, it might be time to take a closer look at those friendships. Read more at iknowmine.org/topic/friendships/

Enjoy a warm embrace today for National Cuddle Up Day! Cuddling releases the hormone oxytocin, which can promote feeling of trust, empathy and other positive vibes.

If you don't have loved ones within reach, cuddle up with a fuzzy friend or on your own in a cozy spot with a comfy blanket.

If you're cuddling with an extra special someone, you might want to be prepared in case things get a little heated. Order free condoms at iknowmine.org/shop.

Sharing space (virtually or physically) with those you love during the holidays is a beautiful gift.

However, some people don't have that opportunity. If you know someone who might be spending the holidays alone this year, reach out and let them know you're thinking of them.

If you are or someone you know is having a hard time and need someone to talk to, contact Careline Alaska anytime at 1-877-266-4357 or text "4help" to 839863 (3-11 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday).

When we communicate, we can do so in a way that acknowledges another person, rather than focusing on their condition or disease.

One tip is to use person-first language, which means referring to a person before describing his or her behavior or condition. For example, we can say "person who uses drugs" instead of "drug user".

For more tips on person-first language, visit iknowmine.org
